0:00 Working long, long time, first step

And like I say, we, especially with you guys, are phenomenal good people. It's just about being a part of it, you know, that's the... And I said, you know, you've made the decision that you want a change in your DJ career by being here. You know, it's funny, you guys coming all the way from Switzerland and you coming from Italy, but one guy flew over from New York, done the course and flew back for guys from all over the world. And it's just showing your passion. You've made the first step, you know, and what I'm saying to you is don't just be like, well... When I had this experience today, it was nice. It was cool. Let this be the first step for the rest of your life, the rest of your career in determining how you... Andy Woods is off now. He played with Cream and Ibiza. Now he's playing at Creamfields.

What's missing is the understanding of how you actually get on in this industry. And that's where we as a team of people... The DJ Tutor has been working with me for a long time and I've been working with him for a long time. There's no magic and there's no mystery to being a successful DJ or to making a career out of the music industry. It's just understanding what it's all about, you know? And by coming in today, you've made that first step. You've shown your commitment and what we'll deliver on the back end. Anyway, so I'm going to call out the names, step up, give yourself, give the appropriate person around applause, collect your certificate and your...

DJ tutorial by Ellaskins, The DJ Tutor. Traktor I came here to have fun, so that was definitely the case. I had a lot of fun and saw a lot of talent as we said, really nice. The primary goal for us was to learn from the best. And you're coming this weekend? Yes. Who else is coming to the club this weekend? Tonight. Who's coming tonight? Wayne, tell us about your day. Yeah, well, I'll just speak on behalf of everyone. I just want to say congratulations to DJs and teachers for their tips and tricks. You're really, really good. And thanks to you, Jim, as well. And yeah, it was a great day. I learned a lot. Just playing the sound system alone is just enough. I learned a lot of tips and tricks and all the goodies as well is great. So yeah, it was fantastic.
